"Reaching the landmark is a nice accolade to have and I am delighted to get to 20 goals. There's still a long way to go in the season and hopefully there will be a lot more to come.

"Gaffer, Hess [Assistant Manager Andy Hessenthaler] and Nuge [Coach Kevin Nugent] have made a really enjoyable environment to come into. Everyday I love coming into training and it is like being a kid again.

"You get to come in and you enjoy the sessions - they put on a lot of finishing sessions for the forwards. They let me go out on the pitch and play with freedom which I appreciate so it is nice to be able to score the goals and return that favour."
